define Fisheries Technology is more than just studying fish—you’ll learn about aquaculture, aquatic environments, fish breeding, water management, and the technology that supports these systems. Whether in labs, hatcheries, research stations, or field sites, this is a course that combines theory with practical action. But before you enroll, it's important to know which schools offer the course, what subjects to pick for your JAMB UTME, and what O’Level grades and subjects you’ll need. Getting these right makes your admission journey a lot smoother. In this blog, I’ll cover: Some of the schools in Nigeria offering Fisheries Technology The required JAMB UTME subject combinations for Fisheries Technology The O’Level subject requirements (WAEC/NECO/SSCE etc.)
